The problems associated with replacing (or even obtaining) the HT

There's still a significant market for valve-based guitar amplifiers, so
somebody must be making the HT capacitors for them.


Probably could be rolled up and placed inside the original aluminium
can, too!

Don't forget to include a suitable voltage divider chain.
Whats wrong with a 450volt rated cap?

Nothing; he is starting out with the false premise that high voltage
capacitors are difficult to obtain, which they are not.
